Today we visit Criação Velha, a small village in western Pico Island, overlooking Faial Island across the strait to its west, and Mount Pico to the east. This is a beautiful area, know for the Moinho do Frade, its iconic red wind mill (this is the original one, often reproduced in other sites around the Azores), and for the enclosed vineyards, which yield the most famous wine of the archipelago (white). These vineyards were made with earth brought over from Faial (the island across the strait), and the basaltic dry wall that encloses the small lots is supposed to prevent the wind from blowing the earth away, since most of Pico island is made up of barren basalt.
